Anyone have stage 1 dealer download experience/advice?

I just installed the PCV in my 09 Softail Custom. Placing it just as the directions showed worked fine - it IS tight getting things settled, but it does work. The "velcro" is actually the more industrial type hook and loop that doesn't peel or slip like the fuzzy style velcro. More of a snap into place. I couldn't see any problem moving the ECM upwards on the fender a bit. The actual tricky part was getting the rear O2 sensor eliminator on - one-handed! Ugh!
I'd originally intended to stick with the simple download, but getting some honest education from the parts guy and a tech, understand the DL applies to a bike with SE AC and the street legal SE pipes - other pipes (like my Vance & Hines HS slip-ons) and the download won't be right. With that, I opted for the Kuryakin High Five air cleaner kit too, rather than the Screaming Eagle. Was good to do something different anyway.

JR....I just put the BSS on my deluxe....I too have the "download"... the bike runs ok...no backfirign,etc, however is hot as hell...so since I don't want to cause any permanent damage... I've ordered the thundermax.... I have no room under my seat for pc or any other "plug-in".... I "thought" the download would be "good enough" since I had that with the SE IIs slip-ons....but the BSS really opened it up.... I'm sure I'll be happy once I get the Thundermax installed.

Fuel Pak does NOT advance or retard timing. I've heard they are terrible. V & H do not want to be held liable for altering the HD electronics is along the lines of the story I heard.
